How do you verify if someone is a green beret?
Asked by Wiki User
SF men wore their Green Beret in the field, from 1961 thru 1971. They had that option, and, of course, being "special" (and new in country), they, for the most part, probably all wore their "green beenie" (as some GIs used to refer to them) for a short while...later switching to standard uniforms of the day; as the novelty wore off (newness wore off).
If the SF men weren't wearing their distinctive headgear, then you would simply have to guess that they were SF men by their camoflage uniforms, maybe a CAR-15 with a silencer on it, and maybe some South Vietnamese personnel being with them. Rangers, LRRPS, ARPS, and standard US grunt patrols didn't normally operate with South Vietnamese personnel. And no US Army personnel wore camoflage fatiques other than: SF, SEALS, Rangers, ARPs, LRRPs, and sometimes US snipers. Camo fatiques were hard to get, the supply folks and rear echelon men (REMF-Rear Echelon @#@#) managed to keep all the good stuff.
So, you narrowed it down to: Camoflage fatiqued men, armed with CAR-15s with silencers, with South Vietnamese or Montagnards...had to be SF men (Montagnards is French for mountain people). Remove the Montagnards, South Viets; and the men could be Rangers, ARPs or LRRPs. But these last 3 outfits operated in 5 men or more in the field, SF might be 1 or 2 men; This would be the final way of identification.
US Snipers would be in 5 or 2 man teams. Or a solo operater (discouraged by high command)...but it was done. When solo, he simply disappeared; because he was a target to everyone.

Why is army rangers part of jsoc but green berets are not?
Asked by Wiki User
The Army Rangers are part of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) because they specialize in direct action and special reconnaissance missions, which align closely with the primary focus of JSOC. On the other hand, Green Berets, also known as Army Special Forces, have a broader skill set that includes unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, and counter-terrorism. While Green Berets work in cooperation with JSOC on certain operations, they have their own distinct mission set, which is why they are not directly under JSOC's command.

Asked by Wiki User
With the BDU/DCU uniform, it was the wearer's left side for non-combat deployments and overseas cantonment, and it would be on the wearer's right side for combat deployments (or deployments which had such potential). Since the adoption of the ACU uniform, I've only seen the flags worn on the wearer's right side.
What guns did the US and Germany use?
Asked by Wiki User
When you refer to "guns" do you mean weapons used by the infantrymen of the belligerents? If so, the American's used the M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle, while the German's used the Kar 98K Bolt Action Rifle.
AnswerIn 1944 Germans introduced the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) . The StG44 was the world's first truly effective assault rifle and if the war had continued another year, the StG44 would have replaced every other rifle including the Karabiner 98k, MP38 and MP40. After the war the legacy of the StG44 resulted in the outright replacement of almost every infantry gun in the western world, serving as the direct inspiration for the Russian AK47, the most prolific gun in the world, and the indirect inspiration for practically everything else. AnswerNazi GermanyKarabiner98k- It was a bolt action rifle, with a internal magazine. It could be fed manually round by round, or via a 5-round stripper clip. It was also the main sniper rifle used by the nazi soldiers. Fired a 8mm mauser round.
Machinepistole40- This was a fully-automatic submachine gun. It fires a 9mm pistol round, fed through a magazine. It could be shot with a folding stock out or in.
Sturmgewehr44-A complex assault rifle. It was developed in 1944 and had limited use for being used towards the end of the war. Its existence was kept secret from Adolf Hitler. It fired a 7.92 x .33 kurz ammunition.
MachineGewehr42- The mg-42 was the support gun used by nazi germany. It could be loaded via a chain, or drum mag. It fired the same round as the Karabiner98kurz a 8mm mauser cartridge.
Gewehr43- This semi-automatic rifle fired 8mm mauser ammunition it was loaded through a magazine that went into the bottom of the reciever. It could also be used as a sniper rifle via a scope mounted on-top of the reciever.
United States of AmericaSpringfield Model 1903- It was the main bolt action rifle used during WWI by the U.S, and was also a common sniper rifle used by US forces during WWII. It fired a .30-06 cartridge.
M1 Garand- Patton called the M1 Garand "the gun that won the war." It was loaded via an 8-round clip, a bit of steel that was inserted into a slot in the top of the rifle's receiver. The clip was designed so that thumb pressure would allow eight rounds to be "stripped" into the rifle's magazine at once. Upon firing the last round in the magazine, the Garand ejected the stripper clip, and the "ping" sound of the clip being ejected became the bane of US servicemen everywhere. The Germans especially learned to listen for that sound, knowing that it meant that the GI behind it was reloading -- and temporarily defenseless. GIs countered by carrying used stripper clips and tossing them randomly to fool the enemy. The Garand could be adapted as a sniper rifle with a scope mount on the left side of the rifle. It fired a .30-06 cartridge.
Thompson Submachine gun- The "Tommy" gun had been in Army service for years before WWII. Designated M1A1, the Thompson fired a .45 caliber bullet at near-sonic velocity -- it used the exact same .45 ACP round that fed the legendary Colt M1911 autoloading pistol. Thompsons were expensive and difficult to manufacture and maintain. Thompsons were used sparingly early in the war; they were later replaced by the M3 "Grease Gun," which utilized the same weak cartridge as the M1 Carbine. Thompsons were supplied to the British in massive quantities, even before the US entered the war.
M1 Carbine- The M1 carbine was used by U.S paratroopers and infantrymen for the U.S. It fired a short .30 caliber round fed by a box magazine. The Carbine was widely issued to junior officers and staff personnel. The .30 Carbine round has since been adapted to use in handguns due to its small size and the availability of large quantities of surplus brass casings.
Browning m1919- This was the support gun used by the United States. It fired a 30-06 round, and was belt fed, it could be carried/or set on a tripod.
